In the Alley

Very pleased with the service. Connie is an excellent tailor that is also as good as her word. Promised me a turnaround date and delivered on time. Will be using her again very soon for my next tailoring needs.

Miss Connie is so sweet and will do her best to get your stuff to you on time and always does. I always tip her very well because if I need something done that day, she always takes care of it for me and it’s perfectly done.

Went to this shop after the shop I normaly went to in Hanford closed. Connie does excellet work! Put fair warning she is expensive !!

Miss Connie was a joy to work with! She has many years of experience and it shows in her work. I had an evening gown, with the most stubborn material to work with, and Miss Connie did her magic to make sure it was done to perfection. She even added in an appointment BEFORE she chopped anything off to make sure that the hem line was straight and to my liking. She took 4 inches off of the bottom of my dress and kept the small train in back. It ended up being $ 50 for the alterations which may seem a little pricey, but with the material of my dress and the amount of inches taken off, i’d say it was pretty reasonable. Miss Connie did an amazing job and I received compliments all night!

IN the Alley was a delight. I took my wedding dress there, and it looks beautiful! Connie is very fast (it took maybe a week), very helpful, and very experienced. This is ran out of her house, but she is still very professional about it.

I have gone to In the Alley for years and Connie has done a fine job from shortening and hemming my pants and even long ago for a costume.
I’m not in a real rush, so I go there and arrange to pick up within 5 – 7 days ($ 10 per pants).
It’s important to communicate what you want, especially for guys who focus on their primary sartorial needs.
Because many of her customers are military-​based, I don’t want my suit pants, dress pants or jeans to be that way, so I communicated with her that I want my socks to be partially seen and she gets that.
And if it’s not short enough, she works with you and adjusts it and it’s ready for pick up the next day.
I have only worked with In the Alley for the pricing plan of picking up pants within 5 – 7 days, not within a few hours or a day. And in my experience, I have been happy with the results with how my pants and hems have turned out.

I’m only writing based on price quotes not quality, as I chose not to take a dress to be hemed based on a quoted price of $ 45 for one David’s bridal dress. I was appalled. I’m sure she is an excellent seamstress however for that amount a new dress could be purchased! Thank you.

I have used Connie on and off for 15 years. She always does a wonderful job. Faster, cheaper, and better than what you can get done on the base as far as uniform items go. I’ve never had anything other that that altered, because I’m a man, I’m cheap and that means I only buy ready to wear crappy Wal-​Mart clothes. But I’m sure she would do great at hemming your fancy dancy rich people clothes too!

And again, I can’t sing praises loud enough for Connie! I asked her to alter my MOH dress for my best friend’s wedding, and it was perfect. She’s such a perfectionist! And the price for the alteration this time was WAYYY lower than I was expecting. Probably because I gave her more than one day notice this time. ;) there’s just nowhere else I would think about taking anything anymore. You won’t find better skill than hers. Plus, she’s so friendly and just fantastic to work with.

Quality is fine, but $ 55.00 to hem a skirt and sew on 2 patches??? You’ve got to be kidding me! I about had a heart attack… especially since the on base uniform shop does it for free if you have the time to wait. Next time, I’ll wait or do it myself for that kind of money!

Connie is the best! I’ve been taking my clothes to her for years. In fact, I don’t even live in town anymore, and I still take everything to her!
She does really great, professional work. Not sure how her prices compare to other places but the quality is worth it to me.
She is always super busy. She handles all the Navy uniforms and usually gets a lot all at once for special events at the base. If you ever need anything by a certain time, just let her know and she’ll make sure to get it done.
Her hours are 8 – 5 Mon-​Fri. I usually call and check in to see if my stuff is done before going out there. Also, the entrance is on the side of her house, not the front door.
I highly recommend her!
